I stayed at the accommodation Siam Transformative provided. It was called Lumphini Park Nawamin. You can see on the map it’s very far away from the clinic and to be honest it was quite challenging to sit in the car for so long because of traffic. They insisted I stay there because it was close to nurse Cherry who lives in that apartment complex so I didn’t really have a choice.

As aforementioned, the journey from the hospital to the accommodation they insisted I use is very far and uncomfortable post-op so I would recommend you stand firm.

I had surgery with Siam Transformative and stayed in the flat in the Nawamin area that Becky arranged. I personally found it annoying to have to travel back and forth to the doctors clinic. Bangkok traffic is daunting. I was also frustrated that Cherry is the wound care nurse with years of experience with Dr. Teerapong (I think Becky is a retired respiratory nurse). While I’m sure Becky has some knowledge of wound care, she’s not what I paid $2,500 for. I never saw Cherry once. Becky dabbed saline on my stitches twice a day. I could have done that myself. I really struggled with after surgery blues and it would have helped a lot if I stayed in an area where I could go for walks and or to a cafe. If I were you, I would insist on staying in the Sukhumvit area so you’re only 5-10 minutes from Interplast. The Sukhumvit area has interesting shops, night markets, restaurants, salons, etc.

Siam arrange apartment near cherry and Becky place

I had surgery with Dr. Theerapong through Siam Transformative. I stayed where they booked me which was a condo unit and it was about 30-45 minutes away from Dr. Theerapong's clinic by car.

I had no problems with the service of Siam Transformative itself and they are still helping me out to this day even though I am now 8 months post op.

There are shops nearby to walk to though they are small and mostly convenience stores. Also Cherry does NOT live in the condo apartments that they have you stay in. Cherry lives about 5 minutes away by car, about 15 minutes by foot.

Becky the translator does NOT do nursing stuff anymore due to age, and health issues. She can but it's really hard for her. Siam Transformative is Cherry's brain child, Becky came on board to help with translating Thai to english. Becky is originally from the United States so her english is really good and also she married her husband who is Thai so her Thai is also excellent.

I would recommend where they put you because it is a small studio apartment and it makes it easier getting to and from the bathroom especially post surgery because you will have difficulty at first after you return to the condo apartment.

As for the drive to Dr. Theerapong's clinic... you usually go in for the initial consult before surgery and then one last time before you are meant to go back home to the states. Yes it is a bit hard because of traffic, but we have traffic here in the States and would have happened anyway. Also you are sitting on donut pillows for the trip to the clinic and also for the trip back to the condo post surgery. I can personally vouch that Cherry visits every client and they usually had 3 other girls there while I was there too. Cherry visits twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. If you are in any discomfort or pain post surgery or have any concerns they are a FB chat message away and they will come to you if it is an emergency.

I don't know what everyone elses experience was like and I cannot speak for them, but my experience was top notch and I paid for the extra long package for care while I was there due to going to Thailand alone and not having anyone there with me to help out.
